One Year Ago - March 7

We woke up bright and early the morning of March 7th and headed for the Beijing airport. Our destination: Taiyuan, Shanxi and our little Shi Shi!

Our facilitator, Bill, was happy to take photos for us!

Our first aerial view of Taiyuan...

The room in the Continental Hotel that would be "home" for the next week...

The view of Taiyuan from our hotel room window. Smoggy.

The hotel entrance. Note: it was VERY cold!

We walked to a nearby WalMart to buy children's clothes as a gift to the welfare institute. WalMart was quite an experience!
